As the 2026 MLB trade deadline approaches on Monday, the Braves are expected to be active after a disappointing run since June, with a focus on bolstering their pitching staff. The Mets have initiated a firesale, trading A.J. Minter and signaling further moves with several players on the market. Despite struggles, the Braves still lead the NL East, as the Phillies face challenges of their own. Atlanta's emphasis may be on acquiring top pitcher Tarik Skubal to fortify their postseason ambitions, while the Mets will look to offload expiring contracts before the deadline.
